SINGAPORE: Singapore's Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) says its latest laboratory findings show that the "White Rabbit Creamy Candy" from China is also contaminated with melamine.

 

It advises consumers who have bought the affected product not to consume them.

 

The latest test results bring the total number of milk and related products from China imported into Singapore that are found to be contaminated with melamine to three.

 

The other two affected products are "Yili Brand" Choice Dairy Fruit Bar Yogurt Flavoured Ice Confection" and "Dutch Lady" brand of strawberry flavoured milk.

 

All the affected products have been recalled earlier.

 

Since September 19, AVA has suspended the import and sale of all milk and milk products from China.

 

These products include milk, ice-cream, yoghurt, confectionery such as chocolates, biscuits and sweets as well as any other products containing milk from China as an ingredient.

 

Retailers and importers have been instructed to recall these products and withhold them from sale.

 

As a precaution, consumers are also advised not to consume any milk or milk products from China.

 

AVA says it will not hesitate to prosecute any retailer or importer who fails to remove these products from their shelves.

 

Under the Sale of Food Act, anyone found selling unwholesome food can be fined up to $10,000 and/or sentenced to three months' jail, or both.

 

Consumers who have any queries can call AVA's hotline at 6325-7625 during office hours (8.30am-6pm, Monday-Friday).

Singapore chain of mini-mart, I-Tec Supermart taking milk scare likely

From SIn Sunday Times, 9/21 Pg 1

 

The Sunday Times reported that at least one minimart chain still selling milk products from China which were supposed to have been taken off the shelves on Friday.

 

4 of the 5 outlets of I-Tec Supermarket displayed prominently Monmilk, Wall's ice-cream and the banned China made Dutch Lady strawberry flavoured milk. AVA had earlier ordered the product to be destroyed.

 

The 24-hour chain at Serangoon, Jalan Besar and Geyland continue selling them. When Sunday Times queired the Serangoon outlet, the supervisor answered that the products were on display only, not for sale. But Sunday Times just bought 2 packets of Monmilk from the shop.

wah lan eh. nah bey these pple still selling it??

[Familymanz]

read from various sources.... seems like its aint the farmers..... but those middle men who bought the milk from them for processing.....

 

I might be wrong

[So_nice]

i think u're not wrong. its those factories that process the milk

[Scion]

yes... i watched the news just now...

those farmers in rural places are victims too... cos everyone is so scared that no one wants to touch milk anymore, even though they are fresh from the cows... so they have to pour away thousands of gallons of milk...

 

i think they are generally honest pple...

it's those evil and money-minded businessmen who added the melamine to the processing of milk powder

[Qpik]

wah....how to go COLD TURKEY on this Rabbit Sweets

[So_nice]

wat does this melamine actually does? can enhance the milk in wat sense??

[Shull]

[Yongwd]

the problem lies with the milk collectors, not the innocent farmers ...

 

 

these groups of farmers are really

 

they will get their retribution in hell..
